Re: "Huh? I never said that..."

I never said that you had!

Didn't you notice the QUESTION MARK?

I was asking you a question: So... are you saying that you favor States slapping windfall profits taxes and resource extraction taxes and general income taxes and whatnot on their corporate citizens... and then just cutting checks to each and every individual who resides within their State's borders to transfer the wealth to them?

Re: "Alaska didn't "slap" anything..."

They most CERTAINLY did enact a windfall profits tax (on top of the old resource extraction tax) for the oil industry.

Exxon Mobile fought it, and Governor Palin fought for it in the legislature, and it was passed.
